To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRITZ SOHEIBLER, a subject of ,the King of Prussia, residing at Burtscheid, near Aix -la- Ohapelle, Prussia, German Empire, have invented new and useful Improvements in Molding Boiled Sugar- Mass, (for which I haveobtained patents in Germany November 24, 1885, No. 36,708; in Belgium June 29, 1885, No. 69,425; in France June 29, 1885, No. 169,840; in Austria-Hungary, No. 51,012, XlX,and N o. 24, 239, XXXV, 101. 1883, September 25, 1885, and in Sweden July 3, 1885, No. 182,) and whereof the following is a specification. 7

My invention relates to apparatuses for molding boiled sugar-mass and producing blocks of sugar; and the improvement consists in the combination, with a box or case, of aplurality of frames or molds open at the top and the bottom and having the size and form of the required blocks, and which are inserted without any packing between them in one or more vertical rows into the said case, and of plates placed between the superposed frames, so as to leave an open space or spaces, by which the frames communicate with each other, the liquid sugar-mass poured in from above being thus free to fill all the frames and also to run into the interstices between the same and at the outer sides thereof.

. On the annexed sheet of drawings, Figures 1 and 2 represent, respectively, in vertical and in horizontal section,a molding apparatus carried out according to my invention and ready for being filled with boiled sugar-mass. Fig. 3 shows in section a frame and two plates drawn to alarger scale. .a

The apparatus consists of the case a, the frames or molds b, and the plates 0. Theframes b, made of sheet metal, have rectangular form, and their size is such that when be ing packed together into the case a as little space as possible is left at their sides. Between each frame or horizontal row of frames and the next upper frame or frames is placed a plate, 0, extending lengthwise across the frame or frames, but having such breadth as to leave at one or at both sides slits or apertures d, through which the sugar-mass, on being poured in at the top of thecase a, runs down into all the frames or molds, while air escapes through the said apertures. The sugar-mass at the same time passes between the edges of the frames, which are kept apart by the plates 0, into the spaces around the frames, the said frames being thus not only filled with, but also embedded in, the sugar.

For the purpose of removing the blocks of sugar, subsequent to their solidification, from the case a any suitable means may be employed. Preferably, the case is provided with a movable bottom plate, 9, and a screw, h, or other mechanism, by which the plate 9 may be raised and the frames b pushed out of the case. For preventing the liquid sugar-mass from leaking out between the plate g and the supportingflange i, a packing-ring is inserted between them. In order to facilitate the separation of the blocks from each other, the plates c are beveled at their longitudinal edges, as shown by Fig. 3.

I claim as my invention- In an apparatus for molding sugar into blocks, the combination, with the case a, of a number of frames, 12, open at the top and the bottom and inserted without any packing between them in one or more vertical rows into the said case, and plates 0, interposed hori-
